Joseph, I thank you very much for the recognition, since the idea seems to have seemed good to you. In fact, there are hardly any more exciting words for me. Even more so when what prevails in general is not what but who and with what marketing does things.
I did that paper, which I could have done a couple of years earlier, with the sole intention of making a contribution to science, if possible; a quality one. Receiving feedback that I have achieved it is something very great for me. I wish I could think that it is really objectively important. Thanks!.
That said, I think I remember that I had a thread on this subject in which I think I should move the debate of this paper so as not to divert this thread on SQN. However, it does seem important to have warned here that SQN, the family to which it belongs and also K-Ratio (I communicated this to Lars Kestner before publishing the paper), said with all humility but with realism, I think they have scientifically fallen, and there are one or more better alternatives.

I was going to suggest that as this is an incredibly important subject and as far as I'm concerned this such a beautiful piece of math explaining this huge hole in trading it needs a much wider audience!
You said your intention was to make a contribution to science and a quality one one at that.
Well sir I believe you have succeed in both counts.
Your contribution should not be discounted as a nice little formula.
What it explains is real, has a real effect and can now be accounted for and even more, compared, contrasted and modeled.
